2023-10-02
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hyper Photonix, a leading innovator in optical transceiver products, today announced a significant expansion of its manufacturing capabilities, marked by the inauguration this past June of a state-of-the-art gigafactory in Bengbu, Anhui province, China. The new facility, encompassing an impressive 120,000 square feet and backed by a multi-million-dollar investment, exemplifies the company’s unwavering commitment to meeting the surging demand for cutting-edge optical transceivers in the hyper scale data center and AI markets.
“Our company’s Hyper Silicon™ photonics technology platform combined with in-house Chip-to-Transceiver design, manufacturing and testing competencies ensures that our company is well positioned to provide volume solutions at a compelling price point and empower the rapid deployment of AI/ML in hyperscale data centers globally.”
This development represents a critical milestone for Hyper Photonix Ltd. With a dedicated focus on automation and manufacturing innovation, the company is taking a monumental step forward in bolstering its manufacturing capabilities, ramping up production of 400G, 800G transceivers, and preparing for future volume production of advanced 1.6T products. Production ramp up is planned to reach 50,000 units per month by the end of 2023, further increasing to several 100K units/month by the end of 2024.
Ming Yang, President and founder of Hyper Photonix, believes the accelerated integration of silicon photonics in optical transceivers will be critical to meet the fundamental challenges facing the industry. Further Yang stated: “Our company’s Hyper Silicon™ photonics technology platform combined with in-house Chip-to-Transceiver design, manufacturing and testing competencies ensures that our company is well positioned to provide volume solutions at a compelling price point and empower the rapid deployment of AI/ML in hyperscale data centers globally.”
Plans are underway to establish production lines outside of China by mid-2024 to mitigate production flow risks and offer customers alternative sourcing at enhanced value.
Hyper Photonix is showcasing live demonstrations of its multiple Hyper Silicon™ enabled transceivers at ECOC 2023, in Ethernet Alliance booth (# 460), where it is also participating in a series of interoperability demonstrations. This exhibition, taking place October 2-4 in Glasgow, Scotland, serves as a testament to the company’s unrelenting pursuit of advancing optical transceiver technology.

In response to the growing demand for digital infrastructure, Hyper Photonix will present three major technology themes at COMNEXT: 400G/800G/1.6T silicon photonics modules, low-power LPO silicon photonics modules, and MCF (multi-core fiber) optical modules. These innovations are designed to address key challenges in data centers — “cost-saving”“power-saving” and “space-saving” — and are expected to become critical enablers for future AI clusters and data center architectures.
Hyper Photonix, a member of the LPO MSA (Linear Pluggable Optics Multi-Source Agreement) organization, announced today it will be highlighting its innovative LPO product line at the upcoming OFC 2025 conference taking place April 1-3 in San Francisco. This showcase aligns with the LPO MSA’s recently announced 100 Gb/s per lane Linear Pluggable Optics Single-Mode Optical Data Transmission specification targeting up to 800 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
Hyper Photonix, in collaboration with its group company SiPhx Inc. (Japan), has developed an 800G optical transceiver that can be directly connected to FUJIKURA multi-core fiber (MCF) with 2 duplex LC connectors. The company will showcase a live demonstration at OFC 2025, the world’s largest optical communications conference at its booth #5107
